Come vi avevamo anticipato, gli Independent Spirit Awards sono i primi ad annunciare le nominations ai miglior film della stagione.
Ed è un piccolo grande successo italiano, grazie a Luca Guadagnino che con Call Me By Your Name (Chiamami col tuo nome) conquista ben sei candidature, quasi tutte quelle principali: film, regia, i due attori Armie Hammer e Timothée Chalamet, fotografia e montaggio.
Ma c’è un secondo italiano in lizza ed è Jonas Carpignano che ha conquistato a sorpresa la nomination per la migliore regia per A ciambra, che l’Italia ha scelto per essere rappresentata ai prossimi Oscar.
E’ vero che entrambi i film sono italiani fino ad un certo punto: Guadagnino non è mai stato molto amato nel nostro paese e Call Me By Your Name è l’adattamento di un romanzo di André Aciman, che il regista ha sceneggiato con James Ivory. La produzione è italiana, francese, americana e brasiliana, ma le riprese si sono svolte a Cremona.
Il film di Guadagnino arriverà in Italia solo il 1 febbraio 2018. Non c’è neppure un trailer in italiano, al momento, ma solo quello americano della Sony Pictures Classics.
Lo stesso vale per Carpignano, che lavora a New York da molti anni, anche se i suoi film sono ambientati in Calabria.
Tra i nominati si segnalano anche il bellissimo The Florida Project, l’horror sociale Scappa – Get Out di Jordan Peele, che conquista 5 candidature, Lady Bird, l’esordio di Greta Gerwig dietro la macchina da presa con 3, The Rider di Chloé Zhao, che con A Ciambra era stato presentato e premiato alla Quinzaine di Cannes, e che qui raccoglie 4 nominations.
Molti riconoscimenti anche per Good Time dei Safdie, con 5 candidature, e per Tre manifesti a Ebbing, Missouri di McDonagh con 3.
